| caga1971: 24. Nxc7 is a powerfull play... I think it deserve a "!". |

| Tariqov: <caga>compared to the other moves in the game i don't think it desrves a ! at all,it's a simple tactic,moves like 18e6!! deserves 2! the Bishop on c4 is en prise with full of tactics. |

| Tariqov: Wow, chessgame.com should make this a puzzle at move18 for them to find the powereful e6!! after which if Black takes the Bishop by Qxc4? then comes19e7+!which forces Ke8,now what??no more attack??But then suddenly comes 20Qe6!! with unstoppable mate. |

| EL BE: How about 15...Qc2.

| The Backward Pawn: How about 25..Rxf2 for black? And white has to be careful (26.Nxe6+...Rc7+!) or (26.Kh1...Bxc7,27.Rxc7+ Kd8 28.Kg2..Rb2)
and black is still in some trouble but I see nothing immediate as after Be4 and with the king at d8 white cant back rank him. |

| Manic: <The Backward Pawn> After 25...Bxf2 maybe white can try 26.Nd5+, after which black's bishop is lost. |

| The Backward Pawn: <Manic> I think you misread 25...Bxf2 is the text move, I was suggesting Rxf2 which nullifies 26.Nd5+ |

| syracrophy: <The Backward Pawn> 25... xf2 leads to 26. d5+!  d8 <Obviously not 26...Rc2+?? 27.Nxb6+ and 28.Rxc2 wins outright> 27.xb6 and black's on f2 is still hanging, and White remains up a piece. |

| The Backward Pawn: <syracrophy> gotcha, I overlooked Nd5+ and was only looking to Ne6+, thanks. |

| Honza Cervenka: 18.e6!! is a blow that smells after brimstone. If 18...Qxc4, then 19.Rxd7+ Kc8 (19...Ke8 20,Rxc7 Bxc7 21.Nxc7+ Kd8 22.Qd6+ with mate.) 20.Qd6!!  (diagram)
click for larger viewOf course, black cannot take the Queen for mate and white threatens with Rxc7+ and next Qd7# or Qxc7#. Now 20...Nd4 (20...Ne5 21.Qxb6!!) 21.Rxf7! Bxf3 (What else? The Queen is still tabu for Nxd6+ and Rd7#) 22.Qd7+ Kb7 23.Nd6+ wins the Queen with decisive advantage. In move 20 white missed two elegant winning continuations: 20.e7+ Ke8 21.Qxa7!! or 20.Qg3! Qg6 21.Qxc7+!! Bxc7 22.e7+ with mate in next move. Maybe 23...Bd5 could have saved the day for black. |
